Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

In sickness and in health - Anita Holzberg

in sickness and health
I will carry you
to the ends of the earth
where the sky moves
where children laugh
where the monkey sings

In sickness and health
I will be there for you
as you have been here for me

In sickness
I will run for a cool glass of water
with your meds
In health
I will take a walk with you

Although we are not deemed married
You get my allegiance
as you have stood by me
when in shadow
when the great rains came
you were there for me
never faulting
just there


In sickness
and in health
the sky cries
at your beauty
she really does.
